Ethereal (Celestra, #1)

by Addison Moore

A halfbreed angel who can read minds, one too many love interests, and an entire faction of angels who are out to kill her—living on Paragon Island can be deadly.

My name is Skyla Messenger and I’m a dead girl walking. Not only is an entire faction of angels out to kill me, but I’m falling fast and hard for a handsome devil who happens to share my ability to read minds. And this island I’ve just moved to? I’m pretty sure it’s haunted. One thing is for sure, no angel in heaven and no devil in hell will keep me from my destiny. I’m about to settle this unholy war that’s abounding for my people, and I’m going to do it my way.

From New York Times Bestselling author Addison Moore comes a story of a girl who discovers she belongs to the most powerful angelic faction of them all. Two hot boys are warring over her and an entire faction of angels want her dead.

Sixteen year-old, Skyla Messenger is a dead girl walking.

When her newly remarried mother moves the family to Paragon Island, to a house that is rumored to be haunted, Skyla finds refuge in Logan Oliver, a boy who shares her unique ability to read minds. Skyla discovers Logan holds the answers to the questions she’s been looking for, but his reluctance to give her the knowledge she desires leaves her believing Logan has a few secrets of his own. Skyla’s bloodlines may just be connected to the most powerful angelic beings that roam the earth, and the more she knows, the more danger she seems to be in. Suddenly an entire faction of earthbound angels want her dead, but Skyla is nowhere near done living—and she's not going down without a fight. It's on.

i can honestly say that this wasn't the best book. It wasn't the worst book I've read, but it certainly not the best. It was certainly easier to read for me than the other book by this author.

If you don't take this book too seriously, it's fun. There are two major flaws that I've found in it. There is insta-love everywhere. Nearly all the males mentioned are immediately attracted to Skyla, even though she doesn't find herself attractive. (What a surprise.) There are so many ex machinas in this it gets overly frustrating because as problems arise, they are immediately resolved without too much conflict. There was also so much the author could have done with the plot that was left untouched. Maybe she continues on with it in the other books, I'm not sure. This is book is a decent start for a series. Whether I continue it or not, is a different story. Maybe one day.
